He has dealt with the Russians for count less hours across conference tables. He speaks Russian himself. In the following dispatch written for UPI, Moch outlines what he be lieves can be hoped for and what is beyond hope in the East-West Foreign Ministers conference at Geneva. . By JULES MOCH Former Premier of France Written for UPI Paris- (UPD -Four problems confront the Western and So viet negotiators at the Geneva conference. Two will not be settled. The other two could be, if both sides show a real conciliatory spirit. There will be no agreement on the reunification of Ger many. Khrushchev does not want it and the West refuses to pay the minimum price; the political neutralization of a unified Germany. In main taining our condition of prior free elections, we would bear the responsibility of the fail ure of the conference if re unification were the sole ob ject., .. No Peace Treaty Nor will there be any agree ment on the peace treaty. With whom would we sign it? Not with the two Ger manys' because we recognize only one. Not with Bonn alone: Khrushchev would re fuse. Furthermore, what clauses would be written in? Agree ment could be reached on the more general clauses-renunciation of force, a democratic regime, acceptance of Iron tiers and so f orth-but not on the others: military and po litical status - number of troops, armaments, and total participation, partial partici pation or no participation at all in the . North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization. If Khrushchev maintained his condition of signing a treaty, he would in turn be responsi ble for the failure of Geneva. Let us suppose these contro versial subjects are postponed. Two problems remain -Ber lin and disengagement-which I believe can be solved with good will and imagination. Paradox Must End The dangerous paradox of Berlin must be ended; we have done enough playing with fire. But we can neither, morally, abandon two million West Berliners to encircle ment nor, politically, evacu ate that sector in the face of threats and without guaran- ToRt tees. Nor can we maintain ourselves there against the wishes of the Soviets without risking grave incidents. If Moscow persists in hand ing over its powers to its East one ally, how can we work with this government whose legality, and even ex istence, we 'do not recognize? The only solution is the de parture of the contingents of the four occupying powers, the maintenance of the regime of two Berlins under control (Moor lira wed at -Mini sters' Conference of the United Nations, desig nating a neutral commissioner and installing a symbolic gar rison. This might be formed, for example, of men on leave from the U.N. emergency forces in the Sinai Desert, who can be flown to Berlin in six hours. I have the impression that the Soviets would accept such a solution. What objections would the Allies make? Military disengagement, the creation of a sector of fewer armaments, which would be the testing ground and the pilot zone of international in spection, has been urged for the past five years, in various forms, by the men of all coun tries. It is an attractive idea, re ducing the risks and getting started with partial disarma ment in default of general dis armament. But it is a com plicated problem: The demar cation line is 600 miles from the Atlantic and 6,000 miles The Four Foragn Ministers U.S.: HERTER Washington (UPB Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, chief U. S. negotiator at the Foreign Ministers meeting, may be the most underesti mated man in Washington to day. .The Hw secretary is little known compared with his predecessor but persons in and about the State Depart ment know he did a standout job in his No. 2 position under John Foster Dulles. Herter is an orderly man. He brought to the department experience in administration far surpassing that of Dulles. Serving as second man in the massive shadow of Dulles, however, prevented Herter from getting deserved popular credit for' a hard job well done. ' s Dulles almost carried his office in his hat, traveling much and seeming to care less for -the administrative detail of policy-making than for his own methods.. Some of his as sociates complained that he acted often without letting all concerned in the department know what was up. It will not be so of Herter. He describes himself as a team man and he is. Policy making at the State Depart ment will be a more orderly process under Herter than un der Dulles. Moreover, Herter at the out set has the confidence of the Senate, especially of some of its key men, beyond anything Dulles ever enjoyed. Dean Acheson was disliked and dis trusted on Capitol Hill. Dulles was bitterly assailed by some senators. Neither had any po litical " background whereas Herter served in the Massa chusetts legislature, as gover nor of the-state and, finally, was for 10 years a member of the U. S. House-of Repre sentatives. Important men served with him there, Chairman J. Wil liam Fulbright of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, for example. The Senate con firmed Herter unanimously as quickly as it could act after his nomination. A good begin ning for a new man and a big step toward that will-o'-the-wisp-a functioning bipartisan foreign policy. Herter's opposite numbers at Geneva would be well ad vised not Uy think he is a pushover. USSR:GROMYKO Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko can say "Yes" in English, French, German and Spanish. But his Russian "Nyet" in casting 24 United Nations ve toes gave him a Western repu tation he never bothered to change: "My personality does not interest me," he said. Western diplomats call bulb-nosed but darkly hand some Gromyko "Grim Grom" --Russian for thunder. Born of peasant stock July 6, 1909, he missed the Bolshevik revolu tion. Joining the foreign minis try, he became known as a "boy wonder." Gromyko was appointed ambassador to the United States in 1943 at the age of 34. Gromyko later became U.N. representative, a first deputy foreign minister and envoy to Britain. He took over as for eign minister in February, 1957. His old patron, V. M. Molotov, was sent to Outer Mongolia. The man who once called Sir Winston Churchill a -"cannibal" knows how to relax. Favorite movie: "Gone With the Wind." Asked to comment on a rainy day in New York, Gro myko said, "I am pleased that so. far nobody blames it on the Soviet Union." BRITAIN: LLOYD Selwyn Lloyd broke the rules of the game to become and remain Britain's foreign minister. He is from the middle class, not the aristocracy that usu ally breeds Conservative Par ty leadership. He married (and divorced) his much younger secretary. He went to the "wrong" school (Fettes) and was a Lib eral tParty member until he was nearly 30. Lloyd's pre-war legal repu tation, wartime military rec ord and post-war attacks on the Labor Party government paid off when the Tories re gained power in 1951. Sir Winston Churchill made him a minister of state. Later he headed the ministries of sup ply and housing. Lloyd became foreign min ister in 1955. Prime Minister Anthony Eden quit after the 1956 Suez invasion. But Lloyd stayed on under Prime Minis ter Harold Macmillan. Lloyd's often weak parlia mentary speeches drew fire from even his own Tories. Newspapers called him "a po litical pigmy" and "the high est paid office boy in the land." But shy, portly Lloyd, 54, has ignored the criticism. "You become inured to it," he has said. His quiet, able ex ecution of Macmillan's poli cies have won him new respect. FRANCE: COUVE DE MURVILLE Like Caesar's Gaul, French Foreign Minister Maurice Couye de Murville is divided into three parts. He has the French intellec tual's delight in poetry and plays a shark4ike game of bridge. The 52-year-old diplomat is also a confirmed family man. A favorite pastime is playing the piano for his wife end three daughters. But primarily, Maurice Couve de Murville is a for eign minister. He looks and acts the part. Tall, courtly Couve de Mur ville has served France since 1930 when he passed that Eiffel Tower of governmental tests-the examination for be coming an inspector of fi nances. . During World War II, he joined the underground and Gen. Charles de Gaulle's lib eration movement. After the war he served as envoy to Washington, Rome, Cairo, the United Nations and West Ger many. De Gaulle personally pick ed him for the foreign minis tership in June, 1958, shatter ing a tradition' that no career diplomat assume' the Quai D'Orsay's top job. from the Pacific. A reciprocal withdrawal of 300 miles am putates the maneuvering zone 50 per cent in the east. Hard ly felt by the one, it deprives the other of all defense. So the disengaged zone should be more extended toward the east than toward the west. Another difficulty: If nu clear weapons are forbidden, 'does this include tactical atomic arms as well? If this is the case, the atomic divi sions will be removed, rather than re-equipped with out dated crossbows. - The sensative point is that the zone of disengagement must be compatible with the Anglo-American presence on the European continent, there fore accepted without reserve by the general staffs and gov ernments. I have suggested three zones centered on Berlin. First, the city, placed under authority of the U.N. then, a sector of about 120 miles in radius, dis armed and a test zone for international inspection. Fi nally, within a radius of 240 miles from Berlin, troops would be limited to the same level for both camps and in termediate range ballistic missiles would be banned. In spection would function there also. The Ruhr, the Rhineland, Baden-Wurtemburg and half of Bavaria would remain pro visionally exempt from limi tation (like v Poland beyond Lodz, and Slovakia) which would suffice as a sector of defense, maneuver and logis tic support. If the foreign ministers agree on solutions of this kind, two out of four problems will be solved. A return of 50 per cent is the maximum that can be hoped for at Geneva. It is to be feared that it will not be attained.
